SUGAR and SPICE and EVERYTHING nice..

This is such an awesome group of puppies! They are little furry piranhas..
But SO stinking cute!
Here are just some candid's from the last two days..
It is fun to scroll back to the older posts and see how much they have changed!!
Faces you can see are: Annie, Belle & Ringo
 Belle has really started getting more playful! She has a medium drive and lot of spunk!
 She is still mellower than her litter mates.. But mellow for a border collie is like a hyper regular dog!
She is a snuggler.. such a cute face! Truly a little princess I think..
 Annie discovered the fenced off garden today.. That usually ends up being the puppies favorite escape.. once they figure out how to get in and out! Annie is a beautiful fur ball! Everyone loves her sweet white face!! 
 I love Lillie.. She has the funniest little personality..
Her favorite thing to do right now is attack my pant leg and play tug, which is just fine except when I am in shorts!
I am in love with this face! Lillie is a sweetie..
 I noticed I don't have a lot of pictures of wild Bill in the older posts.  
 He is very playful, always on the move so it is hard to take pictures of him.
 he always checks in though, comes back to get a quick snuggle before he heads out again!
 He loves watching the kids play.. and he pays attention to everything that's going on around him.
He is enjoying the toys too! Tug mostly, but I catch him pushing and chewing on the soccer ball around every once in awhile.
Ringo is such a curious pup! LOVES people.. Follows my kids around, explores.. just a cute all around happy go-lucky puppy! He is very smart - figures things out pretty quick!
Their favorite place to congregate while they 'regroup' is under the lawn chair.. They take a quick little nap before they are off again! (Annie & Bill laying on Ringo). 
Rooster is pretty independent. He is very curious and loves to wander and LOVES kids. He will try to keep up with them, and when he tires out he will just watch them.. Such a cute little man this one!
He is also pretty toy savvy! Likes to wrestle and is usually the instigator..
Calamity is a spunky little puppy. She is smart! Figures things out pretty quick. nothing really frightens her. She loves to play and seems to be well rounded. Not too hyper, nippy but pretty much perfect!
 She loves to play tug and chew on anything she can sink her teeth into!
 

So it was getting dark, and I think my Shelby was getting jealous of all the attention her pups were getting.. So she brought me her Frisbee like this! I know she just wanted to play.. but it was so funny how she picked it up I had to take a picture of my goofy girl!   
 
5 Weeks old this Thursday!!
Check back for their weekly updates!

Best Party Favors EVER!!

My daughter had her birthday party today.. I knew the puppies loved my kids, but these puppies were in HEAVEN! 11 girls to play with.. Best party EVER!!
 
I was lucky to catch some cute candid's of some of these furbabies..
Its not an easy thing to do trust me! But they are sure fun!!
 (above) Annie & Calamity can't decide if they are wrestling or resting.. I think a little of both!
 (above) Ringo and Bill playing with the soccer ball.. Ringo seemed to love the ball AND Bills tail :)
Lillie taking a break so I could get a close up of her darling fluffy face :) She is a hard one to take pictures of. She is always traveling, playing and curious about everything! She is a beautiful puppy, with the cutest kissable face!
 Here is Bill (above), they like to play in our Tupperware bin.. We use it to transport the puppies back and forth from the lawn.. apparently, it doubles as a toy. Bill is very even tempered. he wrestles and plays, loves toys and will literally chase my kids when they run.. He wants to be part of everything and is even coming to a kiss or whistle!
 Here's Rooster just getting his snuggles in before he runs off to play!
 Annie was really cute today.. She would play, then come climb in my lap for some attention.. Then she climb out of my lap and go play some more. Annie is a sweetie for sure. Loves snuggles but won't turn down the next adventure!
Calamity just trying to decide who she was going to pounce on next.. tough decision!
 The puppies made the party a hit for sure! We love it when our friends and neighbors come to see the puppies. It is so good for them to be exposed to as many 'strangers' as possible so they aren't timid when meeting new people. They love attention and the kids loved giving it to them!!
 Belle is such a sweet heart! She is definitely more mellow than the rest, but she is coming out of her shell a little bit and surprising us with an ankle bite or pounce! Her favorite spot is still right next to me.. And I love it!
 
 Here is Calamity figuring out the soccer ball- hmm eat it or push it? Calamity is a go getter. She loves to meet different animals, is not afraid of anything and will be the first to try something new. She is still a cuddler and always comes back for some snuggles.
 
 Here is our jokester Ringo. He has the cutest personality. He follows he kids where ever they go. He is fearless, loves to explore and LOVES people and our cat. He will run and pounce and just kind of run sideways sometimes.. Like his back legs are going faster than his front..
Annie taking a snuggle break with on of the kids.. She will sneak a kiss in there too when she can!

 Annie is loving the tug rope! Its always the puppies first favorite toy!
 No rest for the weary!! Poor Shelby just wants to chew on her bone.. the little rascals pounced.. ALL of them!
 I think the tug toy won this time! Rooster is very well rounded! He is ambitious likes to explore and play.. he tries to fool the other furbabies into thinking that he is the boss of them. He will pounce them when they are least expecting it! He always finds me after his adventure on the lawn to get a snuggle.. And then off he goes again!
 Ringo figured out how to go UP the stairs, but is too chicken to go DOWN them..
It has been a long day for our babies.. Good Day for sure!
Check back soon, I'm going to try to do some video of these cuties!
